Time 2h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup uncooked brown rice
water
½ pound collard greens, chopped
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1 (10 ounce) package frozen okra
1 (28 ounce) can whole peeled tomatoes, chopped, with liquid
1 chayote squash, diced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
¼ teaspoon ground ginger, or more to taste
¼ teaspoon dried dill weed, or more to taste
¼ teaspoon ground cumin, or to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste
1 (16 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
all-purpose flour, or as needed

Steps:

  • Bring brown rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer until rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes.
  • Place collard greens and 2 peeled whole garlic cloves in a pot; add enough water to cover. Boil until collards are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain.
  • Combine okra, tomatoes, chayote squash, and 2 crushed garlic cloves in a separate large pot; bring to a boil and cook until okra has thawed, about 5 minutes. Reduce to a simmer; season with ground ginger, dill weed, ground cumin, and cilantro to taste. Add collard greens; simmer until flavors have blended, at least 40 minutes (1 hour for best flavor).
  • Mash kidney beans together with tomato paste in a bowl; add to the stew. Stir in cooked rice and mix well. Add a spoonful of flour to thicken, if desired. Adjust seasonings to taste.

I thought this stew was just okay. The flavors were a bit bland and the vegetables were overcooked.

This stew was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less brown sugar.

This stew was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili powder.
